Mikoshi Splashes into Sea in Wakayama Festival
The festival began with a lively parade through the port town, setting a festive tone for the day. Participants then moved into the sea, where they gathered to pray for a bountiful catch and safe voyages, honoring the maritime spirit of the community.
Following the prayers, the mikoshi was carefully placed on a boat and rowed by a group of young men back to the shrine. At the port, another small boat, also crewed by young men, awaited the arrival of the mikoshi.
The celebration reached its thrilling climax as the mikoshi arrived at the pier and was plunged into the sea. This dramatic splash drew loud cheers from the spectators, marking a memorable moment in the festival.
